This is a great piece in Wired about the future of food production. It would pair nicely with Mark Bettmann's TED talk about the global effects of food production.

I haven't watched this whole thing yet, but his TED talk from 2008 was amazing. If you are into food, but don't fully understand the mechanisms behind food production, this is worth it.

This is great for all students, but pay particular attention to the section on learning. I am going to highlight the section on "Thinking like a genius."

"Thomas Edison held 1,093 patents. He guaranteed productivity by giving himself and his assistants idea quotas. In a study of 2,036 scientists throughout history, Dean Keith Simonton of the University of California at Davis found that the most respected scientists produced not only great works, but also many "bad" ones. They weren't afraid to fail, or to produce mediocre in order to arrive at excellence."

A portfolio is not the pile of student work that accumulates over a semester or year. Rather, a portfolio contains a purposefully selected subset of student work. "Purposefully" selecting student work means deciding what type of story you want the portfolio to tell.
